I Have 3 Dollars's Profile

No the MJ stuff was not passable this whole book with MJ being venom has not been passable at all it’s been garbage.

It's really hard to speak to you about this, as you give 10 to all issues of USM (that has a lot of poor writing for the whole Parker family) and 1 to any 616 Spider-Man related issue. While I want to see the marriage again too, it's not the only thing MJ has going on. Seeing her trying to start her acting career again with some nice nods to amazing run by JMS is much better than having her be perfect wife with zero issues until like 19 issues in.

This felt like out of nowhere like all of a sudden she remembers she’s an actress and Ewing has done nothing to make the situation better he hasn’t fixed the character assassination done to MJ all he does is just ignore it and MJ still chastises the symbiote for liking Eddie when she was just in a relationship who helped commit genocide on his whole planet he keeps adding to MJ looking worse and worse

Yeah it is out-of-place but the book does acknowledge it. And gives good reason for that too (being superhero). MJ's hatred towards Eddie is understandable after all the trauma she had to suffer because of him. Sure, we have seen Eddie's growth after that, but MJ hasn't. And Paul didn't help with the genocide willingly. Eddie did attack MJ willingly.

Okay for one Eddie went to get Peter but MJ happened to be there so he just used that because Peter didn’t get home first. Second Paul deliberately profited off of his father’s mental health issues knowing he needed help and once his dad stated killing he could’ve stopped it but he didn’t so he indirectly help commit genocide. You not knowing that shows you have no idea what you’re talking about and don’t have a say.

Saying "MJ just happened to be there" to justify what Eddie did to her is wild. Nice trolling man.

She walked in if you actually read amazing Spider-Man 300 Eddie even says she wasn’t the one they were looking for but they’ll use it to their advantage it’s that simple and again she’s chastising the symbiote for no reason when the symbiote could show her who Eddie is and you defending Paul shows me the fake ass fan you are you stupid piece of shit

I am not defending Paul? Just stating he didn't willingly help with the genocide. I don't like him, nor do I care for him, as he is just a nothing-burger character. But I am not having such a raging hateboner for a fictional character because of a fictional relationship, even if I care about Peter and MJ being together and want to see that. And no, MJ definitely has reason to dislike the Symbiote, just because Venom has turned a new leaf, doesn't change what Venom did in the past.

And yet she was more upset at Eddie and the fact you gave Paul a pass but not eddie for something Paul did worse shows you know nothing

The fact that you don't seem to get why she would be upset at Eddie shows how immature you are. MJ isn't real you know, Paul didn't steal her from you. This isn't also me not giving pass to Eddie, I love him as a character, but I understand how flawed he is and why MJ would still dislike him. Something you don't seem to get.

Yes but again she knows what Paul did and not only was she okay with it and compared him to Peter and she chastises the symbiote for even thinking about Eddie when in reality all he did was scare her are you that stupid it’s like saying a kid breaking a picture frame is just as bad as someone murdering someone else they’re not the same thing this book just keeps the character assassination of MJ going and all this shit needs to be retconned

Look man, you're obviously just an immature troll or a petulant child who wants to vent because of a fictional woman. Calm down, none of these characters are real. Paul had some responsibility, but the truth is, he didn't destroy his planet. His father did. He unknowingly helped there, which is his fault, but so did everyone else on team. Whereas Eddie did all those terrible things by himself, with the Symbiote. Sure, all these characters are now more knowledgeable and want to redeem themselves.

And I don't see any reason for MJ to forgive to Eddie and symbiote yet. That's what their journey will be, which is why Ewing put them together in this spot. Just screaming for a retcon would lead to just another godawful run like Spencer's run.

And I don't get why would you block me, but also keep yelling about fictional characters on my comment section. You obviously want to vent but that doesn't make MJ any more real.

So the fact that you ignore what Paul did like profiting off of his father’s mental illness and he saw his father killing people and still did nothing shows you don’t know shit and like I said Eddie didn’t intend to scare MJ it just happened but she’s just been chilling with the symbiote MJ chastising the symbiote about Eddie is hypocritical. It’s funny you call me immature but can’t make an argument for your point so you result to this.

I never said MJ had to forgive the symbiote but this book has treated this team up like nothing and her chastising the symbiote makes her a hypocrite

I blocked you because you’re stupid but also it’s funny you say that I think these characters are real I never said they were but the fact I have a connection with these characters and that they have ruined MJ’s character in both this and wells run you can see why I’m upset but if you didn’t care you wouldn’t have even reviewed this so you have no right to talk.

It's pretty clear from the story that Paul was horrified after he saw his father had killed people, didn't know about his mental illness and couldn't do anything, as he was used as a sacrifice as well. If you want to hate the guy, don't make up scenarios for that. Eddie not intending to scare MJ when he literally scares her in #299 and says "Hi Honey, I'm home" just shows again you are making up stuff to justify your dislike. That's immature, you know. MJ still has the right to be angry.

So you blocked me, are upset because they "ruined" MJ but keep coming back to vent. Look buddy, move on. Peter did. Your "connection" to MJ isn't any more special than mine, just shut up if you keep being a incompetent immature troll who hates that the woman he drools over had Paul in her life for a while.

And even in #300 Eddie says "the woman wasn't our target but shaking her up could still work". Just actually these comics you proclaim to love so much, don't just read one panel from reddit or watch some youtube shorts and act like you know everything about them.

Read ASM legacy 950 and it clearly shows you that he profited off of his father’s mental illness I’m not making that up they showed it are you that fucking stupid

Read it yourself. He was horrified when he found out what his father had done, and later he explains in beginning of Dead Language that his father tortured him and used him in ritual. So maybe you should just learn how to read.

Yeah we know that was bullshit it all started with him he chose to profit off of him he didn’t give a shit and then his father killed everyone and we also know the Paul was originally a eunuch and then now him and MJ have been physical so we know that was bullshit and if tortured Paul he was miraculously fine Rabin didn’t even acknowledge him at all in dead language so no quit bullshitting you fucking moron

You know Rabin Spider-Man and MJ face in Dead Language is the different Rabin than who tortured Paul and is Paul's father? They are not the same, since Paul comes from different earth? And yeah, Paul was fine years after his father had destroyed the earth MJ and Spider-Man were sent to. And no it wasn't "bullshit", he clearly was horrified when his co-workers were killed and his friend too. And wtf are you talking about Paul being eunuch? Why do you care if he and MJ were physical???

They literally say it why do you think this got backlash and no the Rabin who sent Peter and MJ to that dimension is Paul’s dad but it’s clear you’re dumb as fuck for someone saying you know what happened you don’t know shit I’m done with this fucking conversation because you’re fucking stupid Paul help cause genocide on his planet he profited off of his father’s mental state and is a piece of shit the fact you’re defending him shows me the type of person you are fuck off.

Paul literally says he killed his father... And that he doesn't exist on Earth-616... where Peter, MJ and Rabin come from... And he didn't profit his father's mental state, he didn't know about it... Also it's not defending him if I am stating facts, something you have great difficult with. But sure dude, nice talk. Learn how to write and read before next conversation though. And stop hate reading, it does you no good. Unless you have an obsession with Paul...

Again he literally profited off of his father’s mental state mask anyone else and they’ll tell you the same thing moron

Dude you have been wrong every single time before and constantly move the argument when proven wrong. Why do you block me, say you want to end the convo and keep coming back to be proven wrong again.

Literally I’ve proven you wrong every single time Paul helped commit genocide, he profited off of his father’s mental illness, he wasn’t tortured, he let his dad kill his world it’s the same guy it’s not anyone different because why bring Peter and MJ there if he’s not familiar with it, MJ looks like a hypocrite for hating Eddie and chastising the symbiote, all Eddie did was scare her but that makes her look like hypocrite for being with someone like Paul

MJ would never be with someone like Paul and you can say I didn’t defend him yet you’re arguing for him and you’re not doing a good job I did leave the conversation but your dumbass kept going on and on and if you think I’m wrong go ask other people on who Paul is and they will tell you he help kill his world and profited off of his father’s mental state so you’ve been wrong the entire fucking time and your biggest argument back is you know these aren’t real characters right

So if that’s all you have why are you here then reviewing this because people who like this stuff review it and you want the conversation to end then quit responding because I’m done dealing with your stupid shit

You can go to Marvel wiki and see that the Rabin who is Paul's father died years ago. And that it's not the same guy. And why do I need to stop responding, you are the one who constantly screams "I am done!"

You have obviously misunderstood the whole situation. It's understandable, happens to the best of us. My advice is to learn how to read and write, and stop reading comics you don't like.

You can still dislike Paul. I do too. But I don't need to imagine and rewrite the story in my head, like you do, to justify it.

Again if you read the comic not the wiki many fans point out the inconsistencies it has and let me apologize actually my rant has been due to the past couple of days not being great and I just needed to vent I’m sorry I’ll unblock you I’m just frustrated with other things I just used this to get my frustration out I’m sorry but I’m telling you the stuff I said is right because if it wasn’t Paul would not have gotten the backlash he did and I think even you know it but again it doesn’t matter now

I’m truly sorry have a good day and you won’t get any more angry rants from me have a good day

No worries. Have a good day too man, hope things will start to go better for you.

Thank you and you as well

Little buddy, I really hope you get therapy. This was a huge crash out over a fictional character.

I totally agree. I think he should retire. I avoid whatever he's on anymore

Yet you bought a copy and evidently read it! Glad you have money to burn on copies of comics that only enrage you.

Glad you have so much time on your hands, you spend it hate-commenting on other people's reviews. Pathetic.

Assuming you have a job, you spent a lot more time earning the money to buy a $4.99 comic than I did writing these comments.

😆

Why do you think he bought it? Your whole insult is based on him spending money on this garbage. You know most people who hate read, or probably review on here in general, read their books for free online right? Your being a Karen...and a dumb one at that. Stay in your own lane.

Pretty much my thoughts. However, I don’t hate read. I have been an X-Men fan for decades and I want these books to be good. When they are, they get good reviews from me. When they aren‘t, I call them out on the bullshit.

I didn't think you did. Just sounded like he was accusing you of doing so. Been reading x-men since I was 15 & now I'm 50 and I can say this is the worst time in X history IMO so most reviews are gonna be bad....especially by folks who remember the glory days. Hard to like tofu when you grew up eating steak.

Absolutely. :-D Yeah, I agree about this being the worst time in X history, and I lived through the horrible early 90s and the Morrison run, which I hated too, but at least he was a real writer, not an activist. I'm at a point now where I'm actually losing my interest completely. I'm still somewhat invested in Uncanny X-Men and Storm, because they feature some of my favorite X-Men, but I'm sure the upcoming Age of Revelation will f*ck up those books as well.

It's a great jump-off point, so thanks, Marvel.

I have to say the teeth gnashing of anti-woke haters makes me very happy. So keep it up dipshits.

Nothing interesting to say from the comic fluffer. Typical. lol 10's for everyone with no reason other than you have no brain to evaluate anything. Just take what they give you without question. Woke isn't the real problem, it's bad stories rolled up in a virtue burrito that has no flavor numb nuts. Woke is a good thing a lot of bad writers hide behind.

glad to hear you like my work!

Hiring woke activists instead of writers is a problem. The reason the stories are bad is because the emphasis is on indoctrination.

Go have a cry about it ok?

Isn't crying your job, snowflake?

stay mad bro

The anti-woke mob is easier to trigger than those they call snowflakes. All you have to do is call an individual, "they" in a panel and they lose their minds.

Sorry, all of the he/hims lose their minds. Crap I did it again.

Can you give an example of activism within the text?

Also, Morrison isn't he. They are they. And they are an activist.

LOL Not doing the pronoun game. Also not losing my mind over this nonsense.

Just imagine a world where the Germans didn't hate every person not like them. What a wonderfully better world that would be. Oh wait this isn't the 1940s anymore... Thought you would have learned your lesson the first two times.

Wow, playing the German card... that's really low. Seems like you're the one hating a whole group of people, not me. You may have noticed this isn't a war. And if you had read some of my other reviews, you knew that I love some books too - just not this one. You will probably not do that, but if I were you, I'd ask myself why a comic book review makes me so mad that I have to compare the reviewer to a Nazi.

It seems that card I played was justly laid when overall reasonings to dislike this era as you stated over several reviews is bigoted. It wasn't your review itself but your comments therein. And I don't hate all Germans. I just don't like ones that don't learn from the past and pass judgement on those different from them to the point of not wanting them to exist or interact with them. I'M not the one who's people within the last century annihilated swaths of people for being different.

I'll go as low as I need to when fighting against low class people who can't simply let others live how they want without trying to impose their will or eradicate them altogether. The vast majority of the people you're against in this scenario simply want to be addressed how they want. You don't have to agree with whether or not you feel genderfluidity or trans people exist. But why is it so hard to simply address someone as they, or her, or him as they choose?

Your people didn't have much of a problem sewing patches onto others in order to identify them how YOU wanted them identified. Now that someone wants that power for themselves you have a problem with it. Which is funny, it's like that's been the ENTIRE POINT OF THE X-MEN!

Hating on X-Men comics for being woke is honestly hilarious, it's like hating water for being wet. Duh, what did you think you were in for when you picked it up? Your problem, Chrissy, is that you never really understood what those old X-Men books were about. Sorry to break it to you, but they've always been woke.

I'm surprised you're from Germany, all the Germans I've met are moderate to progressive. Probably the result of shared cultural trauma at the hands of fascists who took over and destroyed their country and a collective desire to never repeat those acts of depravity. I assumed you were just a red state hick whose uneducated and bigoted parents taught you to hate from an early age. But you weren't forced to be like this, you got this way all on your own. My bad for making assumptions.

I have been following Chris for a while now and I have to say your derogatory name calling and character deconstruction is childish and barbaric. Chris is none of the things your ascribing to him, please see reason and do your own thing. Using the German rhetoric is really weird and you sound like a bully quite frankly.

Thanks, Gio. I didn’t even read Hex‘s and ChuckTurd‘s last comments, it’s probably just more of the same. I don’t feel the need to explain myself or justify my dislike of the current X-Men books. It’s just ridiculous that this has become a political and ideological discussion. Fact is, most fans hate the X-Men as a trans metaphor (no, it hasn’t always been this way - just ask Chris Claremont) and the forced inclusion of Ms. Marvel.

Isn't that inherently a political opinion that fans don't like the inclusion of new social perspectives?

I asked for examples of activism in this comic, if you could provide some, that'd be neat.

I don't mind the inclusion of new social perspectives, but this is better done by asking questions and making the reader think, not by preaching and lecturing. I'm sorry, I don't have the time to go into all the details of how woke ideology has infiltrated the comics industry - and you probably won't agree with me anyway if you haven't realised it yourself by now. I'd say the act of forcing Ms. Marvel into these books is an act of activism in itself.

I'd say continuing to read a book you clearly hate and posting repetitive reviews of each new issue is an act of activism too. You've reviewed all 20 issues of X-Men with an average score of 2.4. That's a little odd, no? Why do you read any Marvel books for that matter? You give Marvel books an average score of 4.7 over 100+ reviews. Why bother? Just stick with DC, your average score of 7.8 there clearly says that's your jam. So stop reading Marvel seems like a no brainer.

You made it a political and ideological discussion. You have a clear misunderstanding on the entire concept of the X-Men. They have always been political and ideological. Chris Claremont may agree that the X-Men didn't stand as a trans metaphor WHEN HE WAS WRITING IT. It stood for racism and persecution when Lee and Kirby started it, then was fleshed out more with Claremont. It then transitioned (scary word I know) into a metaphor for the AIDS crisis and anti-gay sentiment. The message evolves.

Why do you care what I do or think? Go play somewhere else, kids.

Chris Y, do you think the inclusion of minority characters in Giant-Size X-Men #1 was activism? Do you think that was preaching and lecturing? What exactly is woke ideology? What are its tenets?

I didn’t say that the inclusion of minority characters is activism. I said the inclusion of this particular character is an act of activism. If you want to learn more about woke ideology and how it has infiltrated mainstream comics, the YouTube channel Thinking Critical is a great starting point.

Why not just tell me yourself? Why is Ms. Marvel's inclusion activism specifically?

Thinking Critical is a terible example of learning anything. He gets his facts wrong constantly and talks about comics he has never read, because he intentionally or inentenally gets the contents wrong.Plus he also rarely adresses facts, that do not help his cause, making his argument weaker or just aimed at people that are not informed. He is a bad faith prophet, even if i agreed (which i dont) with his conclusion i would not trust his judgement.

Okay. I’m wrong about everything. The Giant-Size issues featuring Ms. Marvel are the greatest X-Men story ever told. Happy now?

Why do you fear going into more detail(s) about your own opinion(s) with your own words? I feel like most, if not all, of the users in this thread would have more respect for you if you stopped giving non-answers when asked to go more in depth about your criticisms and whatnot.

I don’t fear going into more detail, I just don’t see a reason to explain myself, because it feels like people here are trying to manipulate me into some kind of “gotcha” situation. I’m also not primarily interested in earning anybody’s respect.

Anyway… the inclusion of Kamala Khan into the X-Men books is completely inappropriate. Although I enjoyed her first series, she has become THE character for Marvel to promote diversity and wokeness (see the NYX series for how the writers depicted her as a self-righteous, insufferable activist). What makes it even worse, is that her new status as a mutant feels completely unnatural and forced.

As if that wasn’t enough, making her the focus character of these Giant-Size issues feels completely unearned and is a slap in the face of any X-fan. If you don’t see the problem, you probably haven’t been a reader of the X-books for longer than two years.

The X-books haven’t always been a metaphor for minorities. And although I don’t mind if people interpret the stories that way, tthey should remain open to interpretation, not manifestos of DEI politics.

The X-Books have ALWAYS been a metaphor for minorities and marginalized communities. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were Jewish. They were persecuted, their families were persecuted. They created X-Men to reflect that. You probably haven't been a reader of X-books for their entire history.

I admit, that would make a lot of sense, wouldn’t it? Unfortunately, it’s not true. Lee and Kirby came up with the mutant concept because they didn’t want to invent more origin stories. Stan Lee actually admitted that. Now, it’s true that the concept lent itself to stories about minorities and persecution for being different. However, the metaphor was still open to interpretation. They didn’t shove the indoctrination down our throats, which is what they are doing now.

It’s funny you created this profile just to crap on my review and push the average rating of this book.
